Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. My boss is a tornado.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things in order to attribute a quality of one of them to the other. To make such comparison, the metaphor states that "thing A is thing B". That's exactly what happens in letter C. My boss is a tornado. The literal meaning would be impossible, but we are able to understand that the boss has some characteristics in common with a tornado. Maybe he is relentless or destructive, just like a tornado.

Options A and B are similes. A simile is a figure of speech similar to a metaphor in the sense that it also makes a comparison. It needs support words that the metaphor doesn't use - "as" or "like". Option D is a personification because it attributes a living quality - gulping - to a non-living thing - a car.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

To begin with

Explanation:

This is the answer because you are beginning to tell about the olympic swimmer. Finally would not be it because it states that that is the end of the writing. it's not in addition because this is the first fact you have given and it wouldn't be equally important because that's opinionated.

Hope this helps.
